 * Have never seen this before, but we just moved to bluehost and the backup wordpress
   plugin was deactivated. I activated it but after a few seconds it gets deactivated.
   We are running php 5.4.
 * Any ideas why this is happening?

 * Hey there,
 * Thanks for getting in touch.
 * Could you enable your WP_DEBUG an try activating the plugin again? Can you then
   copy an paste to me any errors you might get?
 * Screenshots will also be helpful.
 * You can email us directly at [support@humanmade.co.uk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-keeps-automatically-deactivating/support@humanmade.co.uk?output_format=md).
 * Cheers!

 * I am having the same issues on sites at godaddy. I have tried 5.3 and 5.4. Both
   times your error messages says I am using 5.2. This is not true.

 * Hey BigZep,
 * Could you try contacting your host and ask them to check what version of PHP 
   you’re running? I’ve had a number of users think their on one version of PHP 
   only to find it was being mis-reported.
 * Cheers,
    Owain
